 This is the way that org-mode works. If you'd like to release/kill your
 org-mode buffers, simply type x in the agenda.

Ah that works - thanks.

 
 Might I ask why you want to kill the org buffers once they have been
 opened? It is a relatively expensive operation to open and parse all the
 org files the first time the agenda is generated. However, once the org
 files (and all the properties added by org-mode) are loaded into memory,
 agenda creation is much quicker.
For a one time operation - like looking at my todo list, where I might not
use agenda for a while, it just seems odd to have 40+ buffers opened. No
biggie and now that I know it's default behavior and not something I was
doing wrong I'll adjust to it.

Cheers,

||Rich

 
 Best,
 Matt
